Beans Peruano

Beans Peruano
(Beans Peruano) Peruvian beans, also called canary beans, are rather distinctive. Due to their density, they take on a large stature when cooked, as a result, they take longer to cook. The peruano beans have an unusual yellow-tan color that also marks the Peruvian bean. Wise Geek says: Peruvian bean lovers prize these beans for their creaminess and softness. In this manner, the beans contrast other bean varieties that may have more of a liquid, soupy, and hard appearance. This particular texture often results from slow simmering of the beans. Bean eaters may describe the taste of these beans as very rich and somewhat buttery. And, we concur. They are great in soups and on salads. We also found it interesting that peruano beans actually orginally came from Mexico, where they are very popular. The only nutritional facts we could find for the raw beans are for 100 grams:

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
